Senator Reagan, in a letter to a Texas
newspaper, vigorously defends his Inter.
state Commerce law. He says the united
efforts of the railroad companies and the
newspapers they own and hire are EN-.
ployed to drive and mislead the Inter
state Commission into multiplying the Act.
If the commission should yield to the
demands Of the companies the true
remedy will be to repeal so much of the
law as provides for the creation of the
commission and let that part of it stand
which provides for the protection of the
rights Of the people, through the in.

Carlow Castle.

1.-The Castle Of Carlow, situate on an
eminence over the River Barrow, was
an obl0ng square structure. thanked
with round towers: after the manner Of
Norman castles Of equal date. By
whom it was erected is uncertain, it
being variously ascribed to Eva, daugh-
ter of Deruod McMurrogh; to Isabel,
daughter of Strongbow; to King John,
and with much more probability, to
Hugh De Lacy about the year 1850. 1t
was always considered a strong protec-
ton to the English Pale in Leinster,
particularly against the McMurrogis.
In 1899 Carlow Castle was taken by
Donald McArt. who styled himself
King of Leinster. In 1884 LORD Thomas
Fitzgerald (Silken Thomas) during his
insurrrction got into his possession six
Of the chief castles Of the kingtona-of
these Carlow was one. In 1877 Carlow
was besiged by Rory O'More, and was
obliged to surrender, when it was plun-
dered and the inhabitants put to the
sword In 1641 the castle was invested
bv the Confederates under Gen. Preston.
After sustaining e. siege of nearly a
month it surrendered On the I'd day of
May. AS soon as the news of this
success reached Kilkenny Ton the Sd of
May, the Feast Of the Finding of the

was the only place of Importance in
Leinster outside of Dublin now siding
with the enemy, was at length secured

Carlow Castle remained in fair state
